Thread: Buying a new boat!!!! need some help please...

4 seats courtesy of walmart... and got the pedestals/mounts from bass pro...






unfortunately i got the wrong height pedestals... 15inches is too high. so i will have to go back to bass pro and return them for 15in ones.


dang pollen is ridiculous!!! time to find a tarp and make a cover i guess?

built a storage hatch today in between the driving seats. and also added cup/utility holder on the side console

Do you have lock for Lid? ( it will fly up while trailering )

Ya I thought about that... i am getting one today

got a couple stickers on the boat today... still have a few more coming in the mail


i figure since im getting married next month its basically her boat anyways!



on a different note... i found out the hard way today that my bearings were bad on the trailer! had one completely disintegrate on my buddy when i let him borrow the boat today. i feel bad that it happened while he had the boat but im glad that it happened here locally and that he caught it before the wheel completely fell off! i went to northern tools and bought two new wheel/tires and two new bearing assemblies... repaired the one side and replaced the other side later when i got home.

i was planning on buying new tires today and greasing the bearings after work... so in the end it worked out for the good!

(dont have any pictures of the bad bearing but here is some of me changing the other side after we got the trailer back home)


before...



after...

Thank you! (you reminded me to grease bearings!)

Looks good you have put alot of work into it in a short time looks great!!

put a latch on the storage box...


and tried my hand at homemade/thrifty trailer bunk guides...

under $20 at home depot




they seem a little flimsy? may have to find a stronger angle bracket.... these were the cheapest of the cheap ($2.95 a piece) ladder wall mounts
